"We bought the laptop thinking it was a good deal, but the computer lasted less than 3 months. To fix the LCD sceen would cost 2/3 of what we originally spent on the computer. We did not drop it. We did not sit on it. We did not put in by heat. They said it could be due to dust, but my house is not that dirty and we had a case for it. This was the worst money we ever spent. If dust is an issue and a laptop cannot sit in your lap without it breaking then you need to add filters to prevent damage. One another note...Windows 8 is not real user friendly compared to past software programs."

"I don't know how to use 'apps' or windows 8. There were zero instructions on how to operate the new windows system. Huge disappointment. If you are going to use the windows 8 system, basic instructions should be included. When you partner with Microsoft, include this in your contract."

"ihad been looking at laptops for over a year before actually buying this one and i'm happy i did. the screen is a perfect size and resolution. windows 8 does take a day or so to get used to as does the touchpad for the mouse but that can be modified by getting a wireless mouse. the batterg has a pretty good lfe. i can watch up to two and a half hours of streaming tv and still have about an hour before i plug it in to charge. the sound could be Improved but over all i am very satisfied and would definitely buy this laptop again."

"This laptop performs pretty well as far as speed, memory, etc. However, the Windows 8 OS that came with the machine is absolutely terrible. Not intuitive whatsoever, it takes about three times longer to figure out/perform normal functions than it does on a Mac, or even an earlier version of Windows. I may try to convert the OS back to an earlier version at some point, since working with Windows 8 is extremely inefficient."

The mouse seems a little touchy and will open stuff on it's on sometimes which gets annoying. I set the mouse to be slower, couldn't find a sensitivity setting, has helped some, but still does it occasionally. But great other than that. I mainly use my computer for the internet, paying bills, etc. and facebook."

Often when I'm sliding my finger along the mouse touch pad, the screen will randomely switch to something else, as if I've triggered a shortcut. I can't figure this glitch out, so it's a little frustrating but manageable. The picture is beautiful and overall I'm happy with my new friend."

Also hinge pinches your leg if you actually use it on your lap. I also have to cover the white lights on the front at night. They are so bright they light up the room when I try to sleep.

"Really poor sound from the speakers is a major problem in both volume and quality. Would NOT have purchased this laptop had I checked it out more carefully. Also the keyboard can not keep up with my typing speed, causing multiple repeats, wasted time and repeated corrections. Cheaply made as well. I got what I paid for. Don't expect it will last like the previous Toshiba lap top I bought 6 years ago."

The keyboard and mousepad are comfortable to my hands and the large screen makes everything clear. If the durability pans out, I will be a Toshiba customer for a long time to come."

"I bought this laptop because its a good brand and was a good price. Its very light and Compaq and has a lot of features. It has windows 8 but that's not an issue. There are programs to make windows 8 more like windows 7 if a user wants too. I returned the laptop after 3 days because there was problems with the DVD drive and windows update refused to update. I did not purchase a replacement Toshiba as I had already spent too much time on it. I'm not sure if it was a bad unit itself or a problem with the line. I did not want to find out. IN all fairness I did check other user reviews on various sites before buying it and the general consensus was that it was a decent budget laptop."

"I had a Toshiba previously and it seemed to perform well. However this one seems to have a faulty keyboard system which makes it unreliable. The first one had a key break apart and it was replaced with a new one after Toshiba said it would have to be returned to the factory. That one evidently had a small amount of coffee spilled on it and the keyboard went crazy. It was also replaced under the extended warranty plan. But the keyboard failure makes it unsuitable for general use. I want something that isn't failure prone."

I feel like this OS was made for a tablet only and they should have continued the Windows 7 superbar style into their computer Operating Systems. Side panel is always coming up when I do not want it.

When it came time to buy a second one, I looked at other brands but the price and reliability of the Toshiba made it a no-brainer. I can't tell you how much I hate Windows 8 though. Haven't found anything about 8 that I do like. That's not Toshiba's problem though. Only thing I thought they should have loaded on the machine was Skype; since it came with a web cam.

If I am having problems with it already I can only imagine what it will be like in a year. Windows 8 is a whole different problem. I keep expecting it to get better with more use but every time I use it I hate it more. I wish I had known what a pain it is to use. I would have bought an apple product instead."

"At first I thought it was Windows 8 I was having trouble with. So I gave it time to learn the new OS. This is my 3rd Toshiba laptop. Before that I was strictly Dell. My wife bought a Toshiba and it surprised me. Well this one is just a big ol' pile of junk. It locks up constantly. I only have 1 program installed and less than 3GB of photos. It is extremely slow going on the internet. Now 1 USB port has stopped working and now I had to go find a wireless mouse in the office cause the mousepad has quit as well. I figured it was a setting issue. it will not let me change the settings and doesn't recognize the mouse pad. I put it side by side with a comparably equipped Gateway and went to the same sites and opened the same programs. To put it kindly I could go and get another bottle of water out of the kitchen in the time it took to load this Toshiba. I ersonally think they loaded it with so many temporary apps that it cant process the load. And not surprisingly the store that sold it to me with the upgraded warranty has no clue how to resolve this and has even told me I should just buy a new laptop cause they have heard this before. But I get daily offers from Toshiba to purchase upgrades at midnight no matter what. Save time and buy something else. This one is going in my kids room so my 5 year old can explore monster jam websites. On second thought I don't want to put a bad taste in his mouth for computers at an early age"

"Great all around laptop for the money. My only beef with it is that it has 3 lights in the front, but none are for telling you the laptop is working. Some kind of status blinking light when the hard drive is working would have been nice, but nothing. So there are times when you execute a program and it sits there and you wonder, is it doing anything? Other than that, love my laptop."

"I am enjoying my new laptop, but found it frustrating at first to get connected with everything wirelessly. Also, Windows 8 is difficult to navigate - not sure why it would be put on a laptop without a touch screen. My biggest complaint is that it did not come with Microsoft Office on it, which means more expense than I had thought I was incurring."

Speakers are tinny and if you are going to watch video or listen to music you'll want to add external speakers. Would I recommend this model to a friend, only after I advise them to be sure what they are buying. I would suggest an actual hands on demo before purchasing. Would I recommend Toshiba to a friend, most diffidently. OBTW, I'm not a big fan of windows 8. ."

"I researched this laptop considerably before purchasing. Like other reviews I saw and agree with; the sound is not of high quality at all and the battery life is so-so. If using this for documentation & such the battery life is sufficient. But if used for gaming, then no. There is no warning if your battery is about to die. The system just shuts down. The keyboard has nice square keys for those with sausage fingers and at times can be touchy. The usb ports on the right side are inconveniently placed too close for those who use a mouse with any plug in devices. Too easy to keep bumping into what is plugged in. Screen size is decent as are the graphics. Comes with an abundance of apps to use. Set aside getting accustomed to Windows 8 this laptop is awesome! Size/wt is great for travel and definitely great for those on-the-go or students. You won't be disappointed this this one!"

"This laptops is well designed and performs well, but is very inhibited by Windows 8 unless you are a proficient 8 user already. I would be very much more comfortable with Windows 7, but I am still on a fairly step learning curve after 3 weeks. I do recommend this laptop as a good value for one who has no need for touch screen applications. And that's the whole rub; Windows 8 does not transition smoothly form Windows 7 and back, in my humble opinion. I do like the screen resolution and screen size. The touch pad is not always cooperative by it definitely performs better with a damp finger than a dry one. The best news for me was getting some good customer service from the Toshiba Tech Support Group. I would use them again in a flash if it were opportune to do so. Tony W."

I disabled most wiping features with the mousepad because they simply became annoying, bringing in control panels on the edges when all I wanted to do was move the mouse pointer on the screen. The other major problem I have is the non responsiveness of certain keys. Many times I have had to go back and retype or respace because the key or spacebar didn't respond."

Unfortunately the new Satellites do not seem to have kept the same quality. The case is flimsy and seems prone to breakage, the keyboard feels thin and lacks rigidity, and the speakers were more tinny than most cellphones put on speaker mode. Also the drivers are never updated on Toshiba products. To be fair the overall power of the processor and graphics is better than ever and the screen was beautiful. For a little more money the higher end models might be better!"

"When I purchased this laptop it was loaded with WIndows 8, which is an EXTREME resource hog ( can you say VISTA ?) I must say, as my 3rd TOSHIBA machine, I was a little disappointed. Switching to Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit) made it a PERFECT machine !!! Light, GREAT battery life ( i get around 4.5 hours.) Does everything i need, and I can use all my familiar programs !!!"

I find it a little difficult to get around and find things, but overall the laptop works well and is doing what I want from it. The price was reasonable and other then the battery life not always lasting long and occasionally having trouble to boot up(which may be a user problem) it will do till I need something else."

"It does have shortcomings, the keyboard is not fast enough, meaning, the keys have to be pushed through the bottom of the laptop before it recognizes that you want that letter typed, which means that I will wear out the backspace key soon. The screen feels flimsy, as if it would fold in half if you opened it too fast, but these are actually minor inconveniences compared to the fact that it has Windows 8 on it, and Windows 8 is horrible."

"My biggest gripe is the mouse pad. It makes it difficult to search the internet because if you don't stick exactly to the middle of the pad, other windows open up or the window you are using closes. The side screen keeps popping up as well all because your finger moves to far over to the side. This feature alone drives me nuts. Not to mention when I am typing, hitting certain keys triggers other features to activate. I have figured out how it happens but to someone else who is less experienced this could lead them to spend money getting the laptop assessed when it is simple as hitting the exact keys that activated the feature. To fix the mouse pad issue I went out and bought a wireless mouse, which works much better. Overall I probably wouldn't purchase this again or recommend it to someone who uses there computer for office work or business."

It does not work well with normala laptops and although I have learn to manuever around I do not find it as friendly as Windows 7. I find this laptop processor is slower than the previous Toshiba I had and I found it to be disappointing. If I purchased another Toshiba laptop I would make sure it had a better processor in it."

"However, there is one important feature that is missing at least for me a word processing program. It does not come with one pre-installed. I am used to the Office set up and could use Office365 but don't really like it all that well. I own several Office 2010 programs and will be using one of those to install on it if Microsoft allows it :( That is the ONE and only flaw with this laptop. Another problem I had is that It did not come with any software like to reinstall windows or a users manual. I realize that this is intended to save paper however it would be nice if it at least came with the installation software. In case something happens to it."

This product is exactly what I needed and the price was reasonable. Its lightweight, slim design is easy to carry around my home to wherever I choose to use it. The battery life is great. It has a decent speaker that can be heard without using an external speaker system. (however I do use one, but if it's not handy it works just fine.) I like the product and I'm happy that I chose Toshiba once again."

"Windows 8 is not a user friendly program. It is nothing like its prior version (Window 7). For example the mail icon for trash is grouped together with some other icons on mail page and it is very easy to accidently delete mail into trash. Any time you move the cursor on the screen another screen pops up and you lose your page or you can't open a window by tapping on it. That's just a few examples of why we are not happy. Not user friendly!!!"

The features are great! 4 GB of ram, 500 GB of hard drive. Nice 15.6 inch screen which can support 720p. HD cam and to top it all off, Windows 8 which is a pretty cool operating system. lots of apps on the start page. If you want a really decent laptop for an inexpensive price, this is it!"

"When I bought this lap top I was expecting to have something that worked like it is suppose to. The mouse pad keeps going out on me so luckily I ordered a separate mouse for it. I can not connect it to the TV so that I can have the bigger screen when I need it. The battery life is only about 3 hours at any given time. The space bar sticks on me consistently so I am constantly having to go back and separate words. Even the other keys are starting to stick now. I honestly want to send it back but I have already entered so much info onto it that I really don't have the patience to take off."

The keybord has a cheap feel, clunky compared with my old Compaq--and the speakers are terrible. You MUST use a headset to listen to anything. If I had another $1,000--I would have gotten a Mac.

"I've tried both macs and PCs and have come to believe PCs were for serious computing and macs were for kids. Now, with Windows 8 it seems like PCs are trying to become macs, abandoning what makes PCs preferable and taking on all of the bling of macs. The features that might make sense on a touch screen are just annoying in the absence of the touch screen. OK, this is more a review of the operating system, but I think Toshiba could have made some effort to tune the operating system to suit the computer that did not have the touch screen."

The touch pad works very well. The Intel Pentium Duo Core B980 processor will provide me all the power I need now and into the future. It is lightweight, and does not get hot sitting on your lap. The wireless is very sensitive and easily picks up the wireless router in my house. The only negative comment I would have is the sound from the speakers is less than satisfactory. Overall I really like this laptop. Now Windows 8 is another story. At this point, I really dislike it, and I am sure that it is a learning curve for me. But Microsoft has some really annoying features they need to fix, like the disappearing scroll bar."

"I thought a lot about buying a tablet or Google Chromebook. Their prices were right along the price of this laptop. I asked some computer professionals I know, and they helped me with the good and bad points. The reason why I bought this, is because it has memory, it's big enough to read, and I can add memory cards and stuff when needed. Chromebooks are basically just internet searching materials. I wanted something I could write stuff on and keep a private blogs"

"I was always afraid of using a laptop. When given the opportunity of borrowing another laptop from a friend to do a presentation to a group I was afraid I would not be able to handle the laptop as compared to my own PC, I was surprised at the similarities but subtle differences in the laptop. It was another brand to my Toshiba. When searching for my personal laptop the Toshiba had all the necessary tools that would fit my present situation. I especially liked the mouse and the larger size pad that comes with the machine. I was never a big fan of the pad mouse system. It is amazing the chages that have come so natural from all aspects of the Toshiba."

I see that Windows 8 does not work as well without the touch screen. My mouse freezes and I am unable to do anything. I ha trouble with charging as well. I really like the screen and what Windows 8 can do, and I am still learning the differences. My fiancee also bought a Toshiba and he really loves it, even though it was for a child. I really like the type of key board it has, which is rubber. I like Toshiba so far."

"This laptop is for those looking for decent configuration at best price. Definately not for rugged use, it should be considered only for ocassional use. The big drawbacks of this laptop are its touchpad and keypad. The touchpad is grainy, so it doesn't give a smooth finger movement. Also the cursor movement is jerky. Sometimes it just does not respond to the input. That is frustrating. Best option is to use external mouse instead of the touchpad. The keypad is also filmsy. It feels as if after 1 or 2 years of continuous use the keys might just start poping up. For rugged users it might be of big concern. The configuration to price factor runs in favor of this laptop. The processor is dual core and does all the basic stuff pretty well. I do not expect it to do high end stuff. RAM is 6 GB which I feel is unnecessary. It could have done with 4 GB as well. But more is better I guess.Harddisk is 640GB decent size. This laptop could be used for browsing, watching videos. Doesn't seem to be a gaming laptop definately."

"This computer should not be used for anything except surfing the web. Running windows 8 and with 4 gb of ram, with an underpowered AMD processor makes it a real dog when you try to multi-task. The processor is not a true dual core processor, check the AMD web site. If you turn off all the junk that windows 8 has running the system is usable for a lite weight work laptop. Make sure you have at least 8 gb of ram. When using the track pad you must make sure that you don't touch it in more than one place or the mouse will freeze for several seconds. The laptop might be a better system if you load windows 7 on it. Comes with a lot of junk apps that need to be removed."

My main complaint, believe it or not, is that the surface of the touch pad is so textured it was causing a numb feeling to my fingertip. I solved that problem by trimming\ the protective plastic cover that had been on the touch pad to fit neatly over it. Now my touch pad has a smooth surface and it is easy to clean."

"The morning after I purchased the laptop, it refused to accept the Microsoft password that had to be created before anything else could be done. I told it to register with Toshiba later. Suddenly, I'm getting emails from Toshiba welcoming me. It went back to the store and I ordered an Asus with Windows 7. My life is now back to normal with my laptop"

"I bought this laptop because the price was good and I trusted the Toshiba name. Other than being a bit on the heavy side and having poor sound quality, I thought that the laptop would work well for me - the screen had a nice clear image and there was enough memory for my needs. However, the big problem I ran into was too much pre-loaded, unneeded software. This really slowed down the laptop. In addition, the Windows software was constantly updating even though I set it to update only if I give permission. The laptop's performance is very disappointing and I would not recommend it."

"So far everything is working fine. It replaced a 5 year old laptop, also a Toshiba, that had developed the blue screen of death. Used XP for years, missed Vista, thank God, and really liked Win 7. I have an Ipad and Win 8 isn't there yet. Hope we can come to an understanding. It is smaller, lighter and faster, all good signs, I upgraded to 8 gigs of ram, no problem, a few less USB ports but picked up a belkin splitter, no problem."

"Let's be fair, for the price it's a good enough laptop with nice enough features, but honestly for a little more money you could get laptops way better than this one. The build is cheap (sometimes I feel the keyboard's are going to break apart) and the graphics performance is awful (forget about playing games on this laptop). However, it's good enough for regular, not too pushy use, if you're just going to browse the internet and watch videos or use video chat, etc. then this laptop is good enough, but it sucks for more demanding tasks like playing video games or such. As I've said, for a little more you could buy laptops with better specs, and performance capabilities than this one."

The keyboard is large and includes full number pad, making it easier to enter numbers. It is light, lots of memory and storage, and much faster than the one it replaced. The best part was the price. Only one negative, playing music the sound is not good. May be a combination of inexpensive sound card and inexpensive speakers. I was disappointed with the sound, but all in all, this is a good laptop."

"love the laptop! and I am a novice. The only issue is learning to use Windows * but once you realize there is a screen for a similar Windows Explorer you are golden. The new tiles do not support everything I need for school, but the tile for Explorer does. Did not like the fact that I had to buy Microsoft Office for the computer separately. So that increases the cost."

"The laptop is pretty convenient, especially for the price. There are however some issue that the laptop has. It tends to freeze from time to time. And the speakers also glitch every now and then. I also don't like the windows 8 that comes pre-installed but that's a thing of itself. Anyway if you put aside all the issues, it is generally a good laptop especially for the price."

"Over all, I am happy with this laptop - for the price. I do not enjoy Windows 8 and I understand that it is not your product. It's just better suited for a touch screen. My only real concern is with the Mouse Pad. I find it to be far too sensitive. I either have to touch it around it's perimeter or plug in a mouse - which is not the reason that I purchased a laptop for."

"the only I thing I would say is a complaint with this laptop is the keyboard. I cannot type without it not registering all the letters. I am not sure if its a design problem or faulty materials. All I know is that it's extremely frustrating to constantly have to go back and retype."

"I have had trouble with the mouse pad from the beginning it just wouldn't move many times. Became stuck and or had to continually fight it. I took it in and there was some downloading work done and it became better but still not always functioning properly. I ended up buying a mouse to use."

Even my children who are more experienced with computers say this is very hard to navigate, so how is someone like myself supposed to navigate this complicated program? Wish I had gone online and found an older version of Windows."

He said the company had tried every Laptop made at that time and this one was the only one that held up and never let him down out in the field in any type condition.

"A very good computer. The mouse is a bit sensitive when going from th left to center or right to the center. It assumes you are making a swipe motion, brings up the unwanted panels and stops progress. That may be a program fault instead of hardware."

"This laptop's performance is outstanding! It has just about anything and everything you could ask for. The only problem I have with it is Windows 8. When using the pad to move around, it will close out the program you are on and go back to the main page. Getting back to where you were is sometimes a big hassle as it seems to not want to cooperate with what your trying to do. I am not sure if its just my computer or if all Windows 8 users have the same problem. Other than that I absolutely love it!"

"I was looking for a reasonable laptop, and have a Toshiba before that was quite nice. This one really cut corners, most notably on the speakers. Very tinny sounding. The graphics are poor too. I find my eyes straining after awhile. Plus the mousing pad often sticks so that you have to work your finger excessively. And it didn't come with any real software to speak of. It's also slow. To be fair, this was an inexpensive laptop, but jeeeez, could I get some value for my money? I would advise to spend a little more and get something worth owning. Made a big mistake on this!"

"I like the windows 8 features, and they make the laptop look like the most superb match for any person that is craving a laptop. (well, that's how i saw it) i am a gamer, i play tons of games, and you need a high processor. this laptop is good if you dont really do much. if your a busy person with a good amount of stuff on it, the laptop's negative traits start to creep on your laptop. for example: it's running speed slows down, performance speed slows down. if this happens to you, get a laptop with a better processor. THIS IS NOT A GOOD LAPTOP FOR GAMING, THE PROCESSOR IS TOO SLOW. DO NOT USE THIS LAPTOP FOR THESE GAMES: call of duty grand theft auto minecraft blockland (pc only) dead frontier (pc only) If you noticed, all of these games have a multiplayer function. Overall, this isnt a bad computer. Oh yeah, one more thing. if your friends recommend this for gaming, you need to buy some new friends."

"This laptop does the job that I needed it to do. I only use it for basic e-mail, photos, Skype communication, and social networking, and it performs these functions quite well. Please note that my evaluation is based on the computer itself and not the Windows 8 operating system. As far as the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system goes, it must have been designed by a schizophrenic! After a good look at it and it's "features" I had it wiped off my new Satellite and installed my old Windows 7 Pro operating system."
